Awesome

What is your opinion of this product?

I'm a lover of Martin guitars, I have a collection of them and if you love playing grunge .,Seether or Alice n Chains or love tunning down a half step. You will get such a nice depth and dark tone still with nice mid to highs. Not as bright as Rosewood but that's why I also love my Martin D28. Martins are setup higher than other brands. Which I like you can always set it up lower. But remember you sacrifice your sound and volume. The neck profile is nice on this model it feels almost like a ovation or strat in your hand. No fake bone in the bridge or nut like other brands. This is a great guitar for the money. So either you can get this all wood,bone guitar or get a laminate layered with fake bone from another brand "T" aylor. Or get something of value that's the real deal.

"Well worth the money"

What is your opinion of this product?

I just received this wonderful guitar from AMS and had a really good experience with their costumer relations department... I wasn't expecting that the quality of this guitar would be as nice as it is.... This guitar just rings and the sound is beautiful. I have an Ovation and it can't compare . I feel that anyone who is looking for a Martin that doesn't have the money to buy one of the high end models to check this guitar out... You won't be disappointed
